Dancers’ Choice at NYCB
|
KRISTIN SLOAN |
This Friday is New York City Ballet’s first annual Dancers’ Choice evening, which was programmed and cast by Principal Dancer Jonathan Stafford, and features a world premiere ballet by dancers Adam Hendrickson (choreographer) and Aaron Severini (composer) among excerpts from a variety of ballets by Balanchine, Robbins, Martins, and Wheeldon.
Tickets are specially priced at $45 and $25. All proceeds from the evening will go to benefit the Dancers’ Emergency Fund, which exists to help dancers in times of extraordinary need.
There will also be a Silent Auction, as well as two film clips we’ve been working on (”The Monarch” about Adam and Aaron’s new work, and “When We Were Kids” featuring footage of NYCB dancers when they were little.)
Should be an exciting program, and it’s for a good cause. Maybe we’ll see you there!
